Geomorphology and River Management

Kirstie A. Fryirs / Gary J. Brierley

This book outlines a generic set of procedures, termed the River Styles Framework, which provides a set of tools for interpreting river character, behavior, condition, and recovery potential. Applications of the framework generate a coherent package of geomorphic information, providing a physical template for river rehabilitation activities. <ul class="noindent"> <li>management and restoration of rivers is a rapidly growing topic for environmental scientists, geologists and ecologists - this book provides a learning tool with which to approach geomorphic applications to river management </li> <li>describes the essential geomorphological principles underlying river behaviour and evolution </li> <li>demonstrates how the River Styles Framework can turn geomorphic theory into practice, to develop workable strategies for restoration and management </li> <li>based on real case studies and authors extensive experience </li> <li>applicable to river systems worldwide </li> <li>synthesises fluvial geomorphology, ecology and management</li> </ul>
